My first concern would be his teeth. Rabbits have constantly growing teeth and they can invade up into the sinus cavity. Of course other problems such as infection or even tumor are possibilities. I would encourage you to have him evaluated by your veterinarian. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
